Boston has Harvard which I want to see.

Well...Cambridge mostly...
Harvard Square (Cambridge) can be an interesting place to people watch.
Boston is a big college town which means lots of clubs with national and local acts.
The Boston Phoenix is a good source for who's playing where.
If you like historical stuff, there is The Freedom Trail. Its a walking tour through the city. Goes by all the major historical sites. It can take a good chunk of the day though. The Duck Tours are a quicker way around but its pretty "touristy".
If its a clear day, going to the top of either the Prudential or Hancock buildings will offer a great view of the city and suburbs.
You can go on a whale watch. There are a few places in Boston and Plymouth where you can catch a boat. There is a big feeding ground for them just off the tip of the Cape. I've gone out of Plymouth several times and have always seen at least a few whales.
I wouldn't advise going to the Cape during the summer. Especially on the weekend. Heavy traffic and everything is packed. Beautiful shorelines but much better off season.
